User:KGpdx/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Acropora humilis

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article is the one that I have chosen to edit for my project, so I am using it as my evaluation article as well.

My first impression of the article is that what is already there is a great start, it just needs more details and expansion.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section
The introductory sentence could be better. It lists many places that the coral is found which makes the sentence very long. I feel like it should list more general regions in this section and then go into further detail in a later section about all of the specific locations it is known to occur. There are also no references listed in this section that support the claims that the coral is found in all of these places. The lead section does not include a brief description of all the major sections in the article.

Content
There is a basic description of the species and some incomplete information on distribution. There is a lot of content that could be added such as anatomy, ecology, reproduction, conservation, etc. The content that is included is all relevant to the topic.

Tone and Balance
The article has a neutral, descriptive tone.

Sources and References
As stated above, the lead section states that this species is found in a multitude of places but there are no sources to back that information up. There is a need for more sources and a greater diversity of sources for the entire article. The three references that are listed all have working links to them.

Organization and writing quality
I feel like some of the writing could be more concise. Overall the organization of the information that is already there is a good starting point.

Images and Media
There is one un-captioned photo in the article.

Talk page discussion
No conversations have been started on the talk page. The article is rated Start-class and it is of interest in both the "Animals" and "Marine life" WikiProjects.

Overall impressions
Overall, I think this is a great starting point for me to use to expand. I do not see any major issues with what is already there, just a lack of completeness. The scientific classification box being completed is helpful!
